My Android Emulator is Too Slow..Also RAM difficulties

I have recently started to learn android development.. so i downloaded this adt-bundle I use Windows 7 32-bit.. so as I installed I set two emulators.. One of the emulator is : Nexus 4, API 18 (4.3), CPU Intel Atom(x86) so when I set the ram to 1507.. it shows warning that windows can't support it so.. my first question is, is it any possible to set to a higher ram.. then I set it to 768..so it does not show any problem.. after I save it and try to launch it .. a black screen comes up where it is written android which is showing it is loading.. but it never opens..

Other emulator is : 5.1"WVGA API 10(2.3.3), CPU Intel Atom(x86) so the Ram is automatically below 768...I save it and launched it and it perfectly showed up..but it is too slow..

I really don't know how to solve this problem..so please help me..I am doing a course on Coursera.org.. I am following that.. but when I posted this problem to the forum i got no answer.. but I hope to get help from here..

You can speed up the emulator by downloding the following from the ANDROID SDK Manager

 Intel X86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)

I had this same problem. I can recommend you GENYMOTION emulator. Is much more faster and you will not have problems with ram
