you can't just use blockchain.info for one adress, if you used it you probably had a lot more..

So I found an old Bitcoin wallet on an old computer (from December 2010, back when BTC were about $0.50). I cannot recall how many BTC are on this wallet (might range between 1 - 50+).
I have the "wallet.dat" file, tho not sure how to best view it. Can it be imported into Bitcoin-QT on my new system? Or would it be better to use something like this: https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet
I don't want to screw anything up. What's the best way?
Thanks!

Just download Bitcoin-qt and put in the wallet.dat files. wait about a day and you will know the answer..
lucky man
Did he say how much was in it?
He said that one address was empty, but he probably had more. 
a wallet is just a collection of private keys. you just print out the private keys. try the export function in your bitcoind or qt client, or check out bitaddress.org
nice

Whoah, that was like when btc was getting off the ground.
It seems we really need a more user-friendly client to bring BTC to more people in the world.
You should start Bitcoin-qt with the -rescan flag when you "give" it a new wallet, or else it won't see the transactions.
The fact that "your bitcoin address" shows a balance of 0 means nothing. If you sent 1 transaction the remaining funds might be in one of the change addresses.

In wallet.dat, you can use many addresses, it is best replace your wallet.dat and resync from start
