The processors have 940 pins, but the AM2 slot on motherboards has 942 pin slots.
For your question, 940 is the answer. A lot of tiny easy to bend pins..
No. The AM2 socket was designed by AMD in 2006 as a follow up to the popular 939 socket. Intel Processors will not fit into a AM2 Socket.
A. AM2 B. AM2+ C. AM3 D. Socket 940
It depends on the type of AMD processor. The current AM3 generation has 938 pins.

An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM". When you buy a motherboard and processor you must make sure that they have the same socket and that your motherboard supports the processor you have chosen.

you will need to get pin count between your mobo and the processor you want to use Ok thank you, both are 940 pin AM2+ sockets are backwards compatible with both AM2 and AMD2+ processors. While AM2 sockets should be able to accept any AM2+ processor as well as AM2 CPUs, this usually is dependent on a BIOS upgrade of the system first, and many manufacturers have not provided such support.
I want a motherboard which is compatible with this CPU amd athlon 64 5200 dual core am2 Socket processor
yes
Depends on what socket you get. Each may be different. E.G: LGA 771 LGA 775 LGA 1366 Socket 478 Socket 939 Socket AM2 Socket AM2+ Socket AM3
An AMD Athlon 64 Limited Edition energy-efficient 45W, 2.6 GHz, Socket AM2 processor.
Each motherboard possesses certain socket type, for instance, from Intel LGA 771, LGA 775, Socket 478, 604, Socket M and P, for AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, Socket F and socket S1. Thus, when you are going to buy a motherboard you have to have or buy a CPU with the same type of socket. A CPU with one type of socket will not fit another type of socket!
It's Socket AM2, so any socket AM2 motherboard with latest bios should host it. The link below is AMD's product detail page. http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=33&f1=AMD+Athlon%E2%84%A2+X2&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=False&f11=&f12=
