Getting Minecraft

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Right, need some help gang, I'm getting Finally Minecraft for my laptop next week to fill in some of the hours over here while I'm in collage. (Ain't much a Socialite as my Course requires a 80% attendance or I flunk the course)
Just need a little help with the system requirements, I ain't much of a PC gamer see and I have some trouble figuring out if it can run it, think the Offical site has US Specs while mine is EU.
Yeah, I get it, I'm a noob, but this is my first REAL PC/Laptop game, Never had Steam or GOG or any of that.

The Minecraft Site says:
Latest version of 64-bit Java (I got this)
RAM: 2 GB
GPU: Intel GMA 950 or AMD Equivalent
CPU: Intel P4/NetBurst Architecture or AMD Equivalent

My Sony Vaio Laptop that I got last year:
RAM: 4.00GB
Processor: Intel Core i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz
Windows 7

Your laptop meets the requirements, you'll be fine

Well, I tried running the Demo Version on the website but it was as Laggy as hell and that was on Tiny Render and lowest settings, also, I dropped though the map and objects would turn black .
Is it always like this or do I not have the graphics card needed for the game?

Edit: Also, I think my Java was 32bit.

Snip

Yeah, that looks nothing like what I played, My hand and several objects kept going black and the render had to be set to low in order to work.

It can run it, but I still recommend you set it to low.

Okay, I got the Demo running but I still keep getting a fair bit of lag when I'm topside, With lowest settings, anyway I can reduce Lag?
