title: Increasing the Android SDK emulator speed
body: <p>How do I increase the speed of the virtual device emulator in the Eclipse SDK for Android app development?
  I have been searching all over the internet to find out how to speed this thing up, but I can't seem to find a fix that actually works for me.
  Another problem I'm having is that I can't get the RAM above 1024MB.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for all the help. I have now fixed the speed. For anyone with the same problem, make sure this box is checked.</p>

  <p>However, I still can't get my RAM above 1024 MB. What's the fix for that?</p>
