Just a note.
Lavalys (note spelling) has discontinued Everest Home and it is no longer available on their website. The last version (2.20) is available here:

Really good and useful utility, hate to see it go.

after identifying the card you have, head over to driverguide.com to find an appropriate driver.
Everest is gone? Whoops- thanks for the correction(s). I prefer Sandra anyway :-)

There's TONS of Matrox drivers there that match "MGA", so hopefully Sandra tells you more about what you have.

Everest Home, the free version, was discontinued. The Corporate and Ultimate editions are still available for purchase.
Driverguide is a great resource, but I prefer to obtain drivers from the manufacturer's web site whenever possible. Driverguide is most useful for orphaned hardware.

As an alternative, I have heard good things about EVEREST too:

In both cases, you WILL need the card plugged in and running (and yeah, you won't be at the right resolution due to no drivers- but that should be OK......)
