A few questions here... What do you mean by unintelligent? How do you mean
/lack/ of hardware? How can you tell if someone's "lack of intelligence" is
a hardware problem or not? All of these are pretty unresolved questions...
by anyone, I think.

Have you read "Consciousness Explained" yet? It's by Daniel Dennett... he's
into mind and sequential thought being serial-like software run on parallel
hardware. Mind you, he'd probably argue that a lot of not being able to
"think well" is because they haven't (in software) developed as wide a range
of "mind tools" as they could have.
