Browser testing, the bane of any web designers life!

Are there any tools and/or ways in which I can efficiently test different browsers on both Mac and PC?

I not only want to test different browsers but also different versions of each browser.

My current setup is on a Mac running VirtualBox with Windows Vista installed. This allows me to test both Mac and PC but the complications arise when trying to test different versions of browsers.

Any one have any ideas?
