Just got the new santa rosa macbook pro and I want to upgrade the ram to 4gb. I was wondering if I should get a 2gb kit and add it to the stock 2gb or if I should replace the stock 2gb kit for a 4gb kit. I'm wondering this because I heard that Its better if all the ram is the same.

There's only 2 RAM slots, so at the moment it is 2x1Gb sticks, to upgrade to 4Gb you need to get 2x2Gb sticks.
