well... 768mb should be enough RAM but... even though no audio tracks are present... the VST plugs use lots of memory especially sampling VST plugs and maybe there are too many VST plugs attached to midi tracks. Sampler VST plugs eat memory quick. I have 512mb and sometimes 5 or 6 tracks of my ESX24 sampler plug will get to be too much for my G3.

Audio tracks will usually only bog down CPU cycles and not RAM so much.

The last thing could be the security software you are using is conflicting with Cubase. I have never used any security software with my music apps but I know that some of the Norton system saver stuff will just cause problems for some apps so this may be the same type of thing.

I used to take care of a computer lab at college and I know security software is needed but... it may be your culprit here. You might want to consider uninstalling the security software and just using apple's multiple user setup with users and groups to limit access for individuals.

Also, you may have other extensions that are eating memory too. I have a set of extensions exclusively for my music work that only containes the OS9 base set of extensions plus the extensions needed for my music apps. This frees up RAM and cpu cycles for things needed most. If all else fails... you might consider trashing Cubase prefs and rebooting... or worse case... trashing all Cubase files and reinstalling while keeping your song file.
