I used to know guys from Microsoft Germany. One day they were debugging some obscure issue in the memory management of Windows 2000. Gates came into their office and asked what they were doing. They explained the situation and they were surprised that Gates had a solid understanding of the issue and could discuss it on a deep technical level. They also said that Gates (and Ballmer too) has an incredible memory. He supposedly can recall who attended meetings years ago and what was said. His brain seems to operate on a much higher level from most other people.
