If it's showing 756M because you have 768M of physical ram (3 x 256M),
using mem=4G won't do what you think.  That parameter is to *reduce* the
amount of memory the kernel will use - it's usually useful on a machine that
has (say) 16G, but you want to restrict the kernel to 10G and leave the other
6G for custom hardware or something.
