Depends on which version of Debian you want.  If you wish to upgrade to the
potato release, then use the lines:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free

Or if you wish to go all the way up to woody, then use the lines:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free

There is also a web site that lists a whole bunch of "unofficial" URL's with
apt'able software.  That site is:

This is the same chip that's in my laptop.  The Mach64 server is the proper
one for that chipset.
