Android emulator system images and AMD processor

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:
...Virtual machine acceleration for Windows requires the installation of the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM). The software requires an Intel CPU with Virtualization Technology (VT) support...
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.

This is not only not a solution, you contradict the documentation you link to: they support "AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) extensions (only supported for Linux)" - luckily most Android-linux developers will probably be on Linux machines.

The question was "Should I download ARM or MIPS images?", to which my answer was "Use the ARM system image." Intel HAXM does not support Linux, or AMD processors. If you believe "switch operating systems" is a better answer, feel free to post it.

Hmm. actually Trante didn't mention what OS was in use - After suffering through the awfully slow emulated Android hardware, I would highly recommend using the Intel one with acceleration personally - that option does work well on Ubuntu 14.04 at least.

Could not get it to run as Android Studio plugin on a Linux box with Phenom II processor. Gave up on emulation.
