The difference is in the wavelength and the amount of energy per photon. Typically, gamma rays have wavelengths of under 0.01 nanometers. (With light, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy.) X-rays have wavelengths of 10 to 0.01 nanometers.

What Glenn said. Here's a pretty good reference that covers the whole spectrum: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html

it`s frequency

They're both high-energy electromagnetic radiation -- or high-energy photons, if you prefer. Gamma rays have more energy than x-rays and stand at the top of the spectrum -- all photons above a certain energy are called gamma rays.
