Having trouble with conkers

so i am using the Project 64 Emulator and got Conkers Bad Fur Day. Well i got to the pitchfork mission at the beginning and the game crashed. So i tried a different mission and near completion it crashed again. So i tried different Roms but i still had the same problem. i am using the latest Project 64 and my PC Specs are:

If anyone could give some help it would be much appreciated!!!

I am having the exact same problem . right before the pitchfork fight project64 crashes. was playing pretty smooth until then. i got a dimension 5100 - 2gb ram Intel? Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz ? 2 . Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV370 - Im running Fedora 18 and project64 - is it a bad rom or a bad plugin .... do i got to tweak something. Any help is greatly appreciated .

I'm also playing Conker. Haven't gotten to that part yet but I'll keep a look out. The first thing I'll probably try if that happens is to switch plugins.

What version of project 64 are you using? I know some of the games I play didn't work well in older versions (and vice versa).
