ESXi 5.0 on HP ProLiant ML110 G7 w/2GB RAM

I ordered an HP ProLiant ML110 G7 w/2GB of RAM.  I also ordered 16 GB of RAM from a different vendor and still awaiting delivery of the extra RAM.

I tried installing ESXi on the server w/the bare minimum of 2GB of RAM, but it fails.

Any way around the 1.97 GiB RAM barrier?
