[MAX_JOBS_RUNNING]
default=ceiling(ifThenElse( $(DETECTED_MEMORY)*0.8*1024/800 < 10000, 
$(DETECTED_MEMORY)*0.8*1024/800, 10000 ))

So the MaxJobsRunning is a function of RAM in the box. If you're on 
Windows it is more complicated. Generally, I recommend using a 
non-Windows machine for hosting the condor_schedd.

Best,
