    In this config, you can use MaxClients to a max of 256, unless you raise ServerLimit too.

    You have great server, what you need is apache optimisation.

    First I would say, edit your prefork.c with this

    <IfModule prefork.c>
    ServerLimit 1000
    StartServers 15
    MinSpareServers 10
    MaxSpareServers 20
    MaxClients 650
    MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
    </IfModule>

    I have kept max clients 650, but you can go ahead and increase it to more as per usage.

    Secondly, I would definitely recommend you to install mod_limitipconn for limiting per IP connections (to like 10-20), as people use download accelerators/managers/softwares to download mp3's and it takes lot of simultaneous connections because of that other users get affected.

    http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn2.html Visit this for more info, very easy to install..if not able to contact me via PM.

    Let worker.c be the way it is ..

    after all is done do
    service httpd restart ..

    Let us know, if any issues.

    Thanks
