E_D, a question: how does it recognize/install drivers and such?

Its got a mouse pointer but I think a person might like to have a touch screen for this one. I gave it 4gb of ram and 2 cores in a VM and Im not real impressed with performance. I guess Im not real sure as to the cause though, whether it be my hardware, my settings, or perhaps the OS is just immature. I tried 2 different settings for the VM - 1 as "Linux, Other Linux (64-bit)" and 1 as "Other , Other/Unknown 64-bit" . I got much better results with the second try.... come to think of it, maybe it is x32 ? Ill go make another VM and report back if I get better results....
Edit: I knew it wasnt but checked just to be certain. 64bit OS

I installed it on my Raspberry Pi 3 over the weekend and it left me unimpressed. The build I installed was extremely buggy, the Settings app kept crashing anytime I tried to do anything and the browser was a bug-filled mess. Hopefully it improves as I'd like to mess with it some more. It wasn't terribly slow on the Pi 3 from what I could do with it but the build seemed to be quite broken.

I still haven't gotten it to work well (haven't tried a lot really) but I don't know if you will on a pi3? If you are using the one from the OP... a R-pi can't run x86 OS right? I could be wrong of course, which is why I ask. Confirmation from an owner of the beast is better than remembered reading from months ago or doing my own research

No I was using an ARM build for the Pi 3 that I found online here and it seems to run a decent speed from the little I could do with it. I would like to try the x86 version in a VM if possible just to test it out. Some things I saw from the build I ran on the Pi is that it didn't have the typical "home row" of icons that Android has, I couldn't find any way to go back to the main home screen. About the only thing I could do was to get the notification bar to come up and to load the Settings app which subsequently crashed every time I tried to do anything. I'd probably be more impressed if I could play around with a functional install.

Any success with previous android versions? Just curious. Suffice to say my install is quite buggy as well, but I was willing to blame hardware and user error until your post. I haven't written user error off entirely, but it seems likely that android might want to stay on Android devices
I'll let you know, I should have time to play with it this weekend. I want to try Android on it so I can give Rosetta@Home a try.
