This is why the monero community aims to prevent ASICs. GPU mining lowers the barrier of entry and leads to a healthier mining landscape.

Have they not got loads of old fpga they use instead?

I'm not aware of FPGA's being used for monero mining at all. The current algo is mined with GPUs and the upcoming algo favors CPUs.

Personally, I'd prefer GPU mining.
