This is explained here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/worker.html
and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#maxclients

In summary, MaxClients is ThreadsPerChild*(Maximum number of child
processes), or, in other words, the total number of clients that can be
served simultaneously.
