The Serpentine belt runs the alternator, PS, AC compressor, and should be replaced around the 50K mark. It usually lasts as long as the timing belt.

The timing belt is a 70K mile replacement on your car. The Tbelt runs the cams and the water pump.

The "drive belt" is usually refered to the serpentine belt in USA cars.
