Maybe ignorant question, but how are the ASICs going to work? I thought the whole point of DAGs was to prevent ASICs. How do the ASICs fit the DAG file on their chips affordably?

Its not actually an ASIC, its FPGA board

Ethereum ASICs are about to be released onto the market, I hope that there's a fix to the algo to let GPU miners still continue mining.

We are pleased to announce the Antminer E3, world's most powerful and efficient EtHash ASIC miner. Ordering limit of one miner per user and not available in China. Limited stock, order here now.

As for now Ethash ASIC miner have no advantages to make GPU mining impossible. Hashes per watt are pretty the same. Hashrate is comparable to GPU farm. So today Ethereum authority decided NOT to emergency fork.

.. but you are missing something very important .. network hashrate .. when ASIC become available the network hasrate will spike .. as ASICs are very cheap ... so your profit will fall gravely
