I'm not sure you'll be able to overclock it to 100 MHz.
The first slow Dragonballs (16 and 20 MHz)were not pushed to their limits, hence
the huge overclocking that is possible on them.
The 33MHz ones are more difficult to overclock and you do not get the same
gains.
I expect the 66MHz models to be close to their limits already.
Anyway, just removing the wait states (if it is possible) and pushing the clock
a little bit should add 20 to 30 elo points to Chess Tiger for Palm. BTW you'll
have to wait for a new version of Afterburner (the current one is limited to
54MHz).
Maybe Chess Tiger for Palm on the 66MHz Sony models can reach 2300 SSDF elo
then?
I'm eagerly waiting for your "Tiger on Sony" results!
