what software do you need to run byond? you know. OS, year, memory requirements, that sort of stuff
That would heavily depend on the game you intend to play, but in general you should be fine with next to any Windows operating system and a rather old computer.
Why do you wonder?
BYOND has rather low system requirements, but the basics are:

Windows 98 or greater
256MB of RAM or greater*
50MB of Free HD space
DirectX or OpenGL compatible graphics chipset

*Depending on the game more or less may be required.

Practically any Windows computer running today can run BYOND. How well will very largely on computer specs and the game being played.
