50 Hz (not MHz) means you are running the VICE emulator in PAL mode.
If you flip to NTSC, it'll display 60 Hz. It is in reference to the
frequency of the video display.
The 100 you see in the status bar means that the emulator is running
at 100% speed of a real C64. In the options you can set it to 200%,
and even higher. In Warp mode with your hardware, you should easily be
able to run at 4500% or more.
