I use AMD FX X6 6300 type processor. (it supports virtualization and my BIOS setting is ON)
I installed "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator". When I tried to run Intel accelerator setup, I get that setup is unable to install. (error was virtualization)
SDK Manager has these system images options:
Android 4.2.2
- Intel x86 Atom System Image
- ARM EABI v7a System Image
- MIPS System Image
So does it make sense to download Intel x86 system image ? Or is it useless without installing HAXM ?
Should I download ARM or MIPS images ? What would you recommend for emulator system images for an AMD processor ?
Or the only option is using snapshots?

According to the Android documentation for the emulator, the x86 image specifically requires an Intel processor. When they say:
They are referring not just to supporting "Virtualization", but to a specific set of processor extensions only available on recent Intel processors.
Use the ARM system image. It will get the job done, it just won't feel like you are running a native Android system.
