I've done that for years.
Most PC's will run from approx 13.8 to 15 MHz.
Usually I use a PLL chip (ICS525).
Works great.
And btw, the 14.318MHz frequency is 4 x the color carrier in NTSC
because that's what IBM used to make the ghastly colors on the
orginal CGA adapter.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
