Whenever i turn on anti-aliasing in every game, it slows it down like hell. Even in HL2 that works amazing even on all settings on cept for anti aliasing.
Also, i heard the 7350 LE can get more VRAM by borrowing some RAM from my RAM (lol something like that). Is there a way i can do it manually?

AA eats up the fps on any card, not just yours. And the vram will only get borrowed from the system ram when it runs out, and there is still extra ram for the computer to use.

You cannot control this. IE, if you have a 256mb card, you cannot make it a 768mb super card or 512mb, as it is only controlled by the system.

Unfortunately, since the 7350LE is a slow graphics card, turning on AA will have a big performance hit. If it borrows system RAM to run it, that will slow it down further, since borrowed system RAM is far slower than dedicated graphics RAM.
