Making a gif with that many animation frames needs to be very small on the page (120x60 pixels) or you're going to have a huge file size which may cause you problems. Even with a massively reduced number of colors it will probably load too slow and look terrible.

If each frame is a photo, remember that photographs compress better as jpegs, not gifs.

Flash is a much better option, but from what you said, I'd say that you are looking for something along the lines of this

using well compressed jpegs.

I would be asking myself if a surfer is gonna sit through 100 photos in a slideshow. But I guess I don't know exactly what you are trying to do with it.
