Reminds me of this Choose Your Own Adventure book from 1984. It was about how PCs had organic AI components and each was unique, and you happened to get your hands on a super intelligent one.

I'm sure there are rat and mouse brain cells free for the taking from almost any pharmaceutical testing lab.

If organics is the only factor, I don't know why those wouldn't perform as well as human or ape brain cells.
