Does the brain of a highly intelligent person look any different to one belonging to some like me with a rather low intelligence? Would it look any different if dissected and examined?

According to me all human beings brain are same but the capacity of working all brains are different.

There is some interesting research on brain size and intelligence:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=neurosci&part=A1833&rendertype=box&id=A1833
You would be more likely to find a size difference in a certain area of the brain than an allover size difference. As you can see from the link from the previous post, Einstein had a average sized brain, but a region that would have helped in mathematical thinking was larger than average.
