I think you are referring to Chrome OS. In any case, Chrome OS (or Chromium OS) is a standalone OS supported by Google. Android should be able to run on x86 hardware either virtually or even if directly booted, but other than the Android X86 project, I am not aware of any other efforts. Actually, this might be a nice project for the next installfest or a future meeting. I'd like to see a good Android port to be able to work under a standard Linux distro.
